California water: report...status for SoCal: good

[AW~]

The media is in hyperdrive trying the ole climate change scare trick.
But one thing you wont hear about is local news.
Los Angeles has ordered massive supplies and San Diego has a water surplus.

Other towns are on their own and begging...to the federal govt. Back in 2010, water was less than $1000 hect-acre per normal source. Seems its like $1700 now...still want to 'conserve' and buy water on the open market? That makes San Diego and desalination($1300 permanent) super wise.
How strange is it? Democrats are pushing dams and desal in the 'infrastructure' bill...more gung ho than repubs and acting like they always were like that. Out is conserve.

But thats who our report will be. Who will they blame? Greedy farmers? No.

Yeah, the problem is water thieves. Thats why Newsome had the restrictions and let Oroville lose power(first time in history).
"Two managers of Southern California water agencies backed out of interviews with CalMatters, saying they were afraid that going public with information about water theft would put their employees at risk." Me too...dont want that risk.

But going back to Oroville, a tightly controlled lake, you have state officials so incompetent to shut down electricity supplies during a heat wave. The hydropower person is watching the levels and wondering why the state doesnt stop. It must have been something....turning off all power. How did it get that bad? You had a bazillion people looking at that...blame it on?
"One of Lake Oroville's three power plants has shut off due to drastically low water levels. The California Department of Water Resources is citing the drought as the reason why it's powering down. DWR said in a tweet Thursday that the Hyatt Powerplant in Butte County is now offline, citing falling lake levels. As of Wednesday, the dam's water levels were recorded at 643 feet. It is considered full at 900 feet. The power plant shuts down once the lake reaches 640 feet."

One more for CA water report via Nevada news:

"The Southern Nevada Water Authority has offered to put $750 million into a $3.4 billion water treatment plant proposed for Southern California. In return, Nevada would be able to boost its yearly draw from Lake Mead by an additional 10 percent.
The new plant would produce cleaner water than current treatment facilities, allowing water agencies to wring more use from the Colorado River. "It's going to take wastewater that they're discharging into the ocean, highly treat it, and return it, either to groundwater basins or for direct potable reuse to their customers," said Colby Pellegrino, deputy general manager of resources for the Southern Nevada Water Authority. "In exchange, that'll free up some of their Colorado River water," she said."

You know at first glance, Big Foot's leg looks like a big *****.

Maybe it's because of the angle and the brightness of the sun ???
